This is a foundational hire: you will work directly with the PI (Dr. Gabriel Friedman) to build the lab’s intraoperative recording infrastructure, establish a prospective neurosurgical research registry, and run multi-modal neural and kinematic data collection in the OR and clinic.

Our work spans adaptive deep brain stimulation, intraoperative human electrophysiology, neural decoding, and peripheral nerve interfaces, in close collaboration with WashU’s neurosurgery, neurology, biomedical engineering, and BCI communities.
